Overview

Mission

Maris Stella Classical Academy's primary exempt purpose is to provide an integrated, classical, liberal arts education in alignment with the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Under the patronage of Maris Stella (Our Lady, Star of the Sea), our Academy is dedicated to forming students in faith, reason, and virtue. Our curriculum is designed to teach students how to learn and seek truth, preparing them to succeed in any path of life. We aim to cultivate a well-ordered and joyful society, deeply rooted in our Acadian and Creole heritage, while guiding students towards eternal happiness with God. Through this educational approach, we strive to foster a holistic development that integrates academic excellence with spiritual growth.

What it reported doing in 2023
